The thread on on the 700 CDL-SF in 300 Roy got me to thinking, what styles of discontinued Remington rifles do I miss.
700 LSS-MR
700 MR
700 Ti
700 VLSF, didn't love the stock, but stocks are easy to replace
Seven LS
To be fair, here are some Remington rifles that I don't miss.
673
710
What styles do you miss or don't miss?

I'm with you on the LSS Mtn rifle, except for the stock it was nice nice one.
Here are a few others they should bring back
KS Mtn rifle
Cabelas/Gander Mtn Guide rifle in stainless
LVSF in .243 & 7MM-08 and sure add the Creed to it now:)

I just wish that they offered the wood stock ADL like they had years ago, good bluing, slick action and quality walnut

Stainless left hand rifles, I liked the look of the LSS but don't mind the fiberglass stocks. No RUM's though. Come to think of it a LH CDL-SF would be very nice too.

Remington offered the .300 Wby in the Classic line back in the mid-80's IIRC.

700 MTN Guide is one I'd wish to have to chance to purchase again.

It has been a great gun that has seen a lot of rough use. I'm going to add the left hand BDL in both short and long actions to the list of stuff I like.

660 - the one they got it right with, easy to carry, 20" barrel and IMO handled like a dream.

223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers.

i like carbine length rifles so i miss the 600. they tried to get in on the guide gun fad a while back with the 673 but it felt like a lead filled 2x4 to me. if they would have sawed that ribbed barrel down to 18" and stuck it in a synthetic stock in 308, 35, etc, i'd have owned one. in general i miss any gun in a 35 rem. love the 35 rem.

Bracing for the hate wave here but I miss the 798's, especially when they ended up on the sale rack because people didn't know what to make of them. Fun rifles that introduced lots of folks into the Mauser world. i like carbine length rifles so i miss the 600. they tried to get in on the guide gun fad a while back with the 673 but it felt like a lead filled 2x4 to me. if they would have sawed that ribbed barrel down to 18" and stuck it in a synthetic stock in 308, 35, etc, i'd have owned one. in general i miss any gun in a 35 rem. love the 35 rem. There are never enough well built carbines or 35 Rems out there.

Can you miss a rifle if you have one? My first thought was to list the Model 30 in any of it's variations and the Model 14 1/2 in 44/40. To me two great rifles, but I have them. I would like to try on a Model 720 in 30/06.

BDL Varmint Specials.
VLS with the checkering and black grip/forearm tips, checkered as well. Had 1 of these in 243 and kick myself in the ass every day for trading it on a Winchester HV in 243.

720 and the 30 Express. The best Remington rifles ever built... All the rest were/are POS...
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

...another misser of the 600/660s....
I preferred the 600 stock over the 660 but would have preferred the 18.5" barrel with the 660 sights...and all calibers in the Magnum laminated stock in stainless with a black matte coating like the Custom Shop puts on the KS rifles.
The 700 LVSF is one I never bought...would love to have a .22-250 1/8 twist in that configuration...
